About this eBook
The first comprehensive book on stripbuilding almost any type of small boat
Strip-planking is a popular method of amateur boat construction, but until now there has never been a book that showed how to use it for more than one type of boat. Author Nick Schade presents complete plans for three boats of different types (canoe, kayak, and a dinghy) and shows you step-by-step how to build them. Written for all amateur builders, the book covers materials, tools, and safety issues.

Good information but the illustrations are not in colour and do not scale well enough to be useful or even readable in most cases. Don't expect to be able to use this book in place of plans to build the projects as described like i did. In this format it's next to useless.
